Variation Lab- To Investigate Variations in Heights.

The lab aimed to investigate height variations among 24 students using a height chart and meter rule. The method involved measuring heights, recording results in tables, and constructing a histogram to display frequency against height ranges. The document outlines observations, discussions on variation types, and includes sections for results, precautions, sources of error, reflection, and conclusion.
